Well, I hope you like sports. This month's Xbox Game Pass additions are headlined by Football Manager 2021 on PC and console, which will join Microsoft's subscription library tomorrow, on 4th March. NBA 2K21 for console and on Android via xCloud also becomes available tomorrow, while Madden NFL 21 is available now via EA Play (which is included on console if you are an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber). EA Play also gets Star Wars Squadrons at some point this month - that's Motive Studios' spaceship dogfighting game which launched in October last year. Emma wrote that it was a "scrappy, compelling starfighter that excels in VR" in Eurogamer's Star Wars Squadrons review . Looking to April, there's one final dollop of sports on the horizon - the addition of NHL 21 on console for EA Play at some point next month. As some games arrive on Xbox Game Pass, other titles shuffle off. On 15th March the catalogue loses Alvastia Chronicles, Astrologaster, Bloodstained: Ritual of the … [Read more...] about Football Manager headlines Xbox Game Pass March line-up

Read Only Memories: Neurodivers revels in the corrupted past
2064: Read Only Memories might have my favourite opening of any game ever. I'm thinking specifically about the bit you can play in a demo on Steam. You're a writer, sat in your tiny apartment, procrastinating about writing a review of some fancy new headphones. You manage to power through the review and go to sleep after flicking eyes across the local news, and then you wake up in the middle of the night when a polite robot breaks in and tidies up. 2064 is the work of MidBoss, a studio based in Berkeley, California, and which specialises in games with a LGBTQIA+ focus and a strong sense of diversity and inclusivity. The game is an adventure affair set in a future poised on the brink of three singularities, and in the opening ten minutes there's a brilliant joke about being a writer and an excellent discussion of Asimov's laws of robotics. I've spent the morning playing the demo for Read Only Memories: Neurodiver , the studio's follow-up. It's every bit as good as 2064. It might … [Read more...] about Read Only Memories: Neurodivers revels in the corrupted past

A The Last of Us 2 player making it through the game's Grounded Permadeath difficulty mode died in the worst way imaginable. Just below, you can see a clip that emerged on The Last of Us subreddit.

If you're killed, you forfeit all progress made, and are forced to start at the very beginning of the entire game. It makes the accidental death due to a glitch all the … [Read more...] about The Last of Us 2 Grounded Permadeath glitch abruptly ends a playthrough
